ADP did the heftiest hike, boosting its quarterly common dividend by 10%, to 43.5 cents a share from 39.5 cents. Yield: 3.2%. The world's No. 1 payroll processor, ADP has enriched distributions every year since they began in 1974. The four-cent hike translates into an additional $77.7 million annually for investors. ADP trades on Nasdaq at around $55. The company repurchased 14.6 million of its shares in fiscal 2012 (ended June 30) at a cost of $747 million. And in the first four months of the current fiscal year, it bought back another 3.7 million shares for $215 million.
The Roseland, N.J.-based ADP offers a host of other business outsourcing services besides payroll. It posted fiscal 2012 revenue of $10.7 billion, and it expects that number to grow 5% to 7% in fiscal 2013. ADP anticipates a similar percentage gain in diluted earnings per share from continuing operations compared with fiscal 2012's $2.72 a share.
Another global leader, but in marketing and distributing food products, Sysco sweetened its payout for the 44th time since its 1970 public debut. The penny hike, which is worth $23.5 million on an annual basis, takes the quarterly to 28 cents a common share, for a 3.7% yield. The shares trade on the NYSE close to their 52-week high of $31.90, set Oct. 2.
Sysco says sales to restaurants have slowed in recent quarters, and most growth is in the fast-food area. Thus, the company is focusing more on the nonrestaurant side of food service to balance out business, which includes hospitals and nursing homes, hotels and motels, and schools and colleges. Profits for the fiscal first quarter, ended Sept. 30, slipped 3.9%, to 49 cents a share from 51 cents a year ago. Sans restructuring costs, earnings rose 3.6%, to 58 cents, topping Wall Street estimates by eight cents. Sales grew 4.7%, to $11.1 billion.
Yielding 4.2%, Williams, a Dow Jones utilities component, raised its quarterly to 32.5 cents a share from 31.25 cents. As previously announced, Williams plans to enrich its payout every quarter. Total 2012 disbursements of $1.20 a share will be 55% above 2011's 77.5 cents. The company expects to boost its total payout 20% in 2013 and again in 2014. Dividends have been ongoing since 1974. The shares were recently quoted at about $31.

The company also approved a $1 billion increase in its current stock-buyback authorization. The moves, aimed at appeasing investors, come as Xerox restructures to focus on its services business (document management, bill processing and IT outsourcing) and away from its traditional printing and copying operations. By 2017, it expects to garner two-thirds of its revenue from services. "It's a sweet spot," said CEO Ursula Burns. "It's growing, and we know how to do it fairly well." The stock's current yield is 2.7%, and it's priced at $6 and change on the Big Board.

That prompted leading tax expert Robert Willens to point out that the payment is special for tax purposes, too. Actually, it's a "distribution in partial liquidation" and not a dividend. Willens says that "since the distribution is pro rata, an actual surrender by Loral shareholders of a part of their stock is not necessary."
If an investor owns, say, 100 shares, he or she will get $2,900. With the stock at around $80 a share, Willens explains, the investor will only include as a capital gain the difference between $2,900 and 36% of his or her basis in the Loral shares. For someone who just bought Loral, the distribution will be tax-free, since the distribution and the basis of the shares deemed surrendered will be equal.

Rod Pampling was two holes into play at the AT&T National on Thursday when he came up just shy of the 11th green.
No matter - he just chipped it in, not the first time he would make do with a less-than-ideal situation at Congressional Country Club.
"That was a nice way to kick the round off," Pampling said.
The opportunistic Pampling shot a 4-under 66 and shares second place with Bob Estes, Frank Lickliter and Jeff Overton entering the second round.
The fast start could be a harbinger for Pampling, who displayed all-or-nothing tendencies throughout the first half of the year.
After a pair of midpack tournaments in early January, Pampling started to produce hot-and-cold results. In his last 16 events, the Aussie has finished in the top 25 eight times - and missed the cut in the other eight tournaments.
There isn't a particular pattern, though Pampling has fared better of late. He tied for second at Colonial in May, tied for 14th in last month's U.S. Open and then tied for 17th at last week's Buick Open.
The only thing missing is a win - something Pampling collected in both 2004 (at the now-defunct International, which the AT&T replaced on the schedule) and 2006 (at Bay Hill).
"It's kind of hit-and-miss," Pampling said. "If I make the cut, I'll be playing really well. If not, I'll miss the cut. It's one of those years I'm like 50-50, whereas normally I only miss three or four cuts a year. It's certainly been different."
So was his round yesterday, which hinted at perhaps a slightly kinder, gentler Congressional than a year ago - or the setup for the U.S. Open in 2011. Pampling ignited a stretch of three straight birdies in unusual fashion, sticking his approach shot from the rough within four feet at No. 15.
He went on to birdie No. 16 after an up-and-down out of the bunker, then rolled in a 25-footer at the 17th to reach 4 under.
It was a run that probably wouldn't have happened in the event's first year, when a deeper, gnarlier rough wrought havoc with the field.
"I doubt it," Pampling said. "I would have been trying to hit it just shy of the bunkers and the green and just chipping it up. … You had to hit every fairway basically to have a shot at the green; otherwise it was chipping out sideways. It's playing fantastic and this time allows you to have a go at the greens if you're in the rough."
There were still hiccups to come for Pampling, who trails leader Steve Marino by a stroke. Pampling bogeyed Nos. 4 and 6 but rallied for birdies at the seventh and the ninth to finish as strong as he started.
While Pampling's pattern suggests he will remain in contention for the rest of the week, his longer-term history is also encouraging. He tied for seventh when the Booz Allen Classic visited Congressional in 2005 and then tied for 19th in last year's AT&T National.

Our ignorance of the cosmos is too vast to commit to atheism, and yet we know too much to commit to a particular religion. A third position, agnosticism, is often an uninteresting stance in which a person simply questions whether his traditional religious story is true or not true. I call myself a possibilian. Find out why.

Senomyx Direct Sales Initiative: Under the Company's new direct sales initiative, rather than relying solely on licensing collaborations for commercialization, Senomyx will also sell certain of its pure, also commonly referred to as 'neat', ingredients to flavor companies that can incorporate them into proprietary flavor systems for their customers. Senomyx's internal commercial organization will handle sales and marketing, as well as supply chain management of third party manufacturers. The direct sales initiative complements Senomyx's existing collaborations, which are based on exclusive or co-exclusive commercialization licenses with partners that pay royalties to the Company.
Sweetmyx ingredients are sweet taste modifiers used with other flavors to restore the desired sweet taste of products in which sucrose or other sweeteners have been reduced.
Sweetmyx SR96 (S9632), a sucrose modifier, is currently being evaluated by flavor companies for end-use in non-alcoholic beverages and powdered beverages. Senomyx expects to receive initial commercial quantities of Sweetmyx SR96 from its contract manufacturer by year-end. Under the terms of Senomyx's agreement with Firmenich that was amended earlier this year, after an exclusive first mover period for Firmenich, Senomyx can begin selling other Sweetmyx ingredients for use in food and selected beverage product categories.

D.C. running back commits to West Virginia
Posted by Bryan Fischer
Anytime a player goes on an unofficial visit, fans and media members are generally on their toes about a possible commitment. Such was the case this week as Washington (D.C.) running back Albert Reid made the trip down to Morgantown and ended up leaving a verbal pledge for West Virginia.
"I just committed because it was a second home. I feel comfortable up there. I like the offense they run and I feel myself fitting in really good," Reid told WVSports.com. "I just felt like it was home."
With a mostly new coaching staff, including new head coach Dana Holgorsen, the chance to get to know them better on the visit allowed Reid to feel comfortable enough to make a decision.
The 5-foot-10, 200-pound back also held scholarship offers from Iowa, Colorado, Stanford and Vanderbilt among others. Reid becomes the eighth overall commitment for West Virginia in 2012 and fifth on offense, which is no surprise given Holgorsen's reputation for explosive offenses.
His highlights are below:

Heath Evans 7-on-7 Notebook
Posted by Bryan Fischer
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – Plenty of top players from high school teams all over the state of Florida were in action this past weekend at the 6th Annual Heath Evans Foundation 7-on-7 Tournament. Featuring two teams from MaxPreps' Preseason Top 25 for 2011 and several members from Tom Lemming's Top 100 for 2012, the fields at the King's Academy were filled with fast paced action and plenty of scoring.
One of the standouts was Tampa (Fla.) wide receiver Austin Aikens, who helped propel his team to the title and was one of the top players at the event.
"It felt real good," Aikens said on Saturday. "I was out there making plays my team needed during the clutch."
"I'm looking to gain some more weight and polish off my route running and catching skills that I've got as a receiver so I can help my team," he said. "We're pretty much getting there, we're starting to gel together and become one team and know what each other is thinking. Players are starting to step up when we need them to step up."
While the 6-foot-1, 180-pounder is still sorting out his offer list, he maintains he'll likely make a decision after the football season is over. He recently took an unofficial visit to several schools in North Carolina and could be leaning towards heading out of state for college.
Palm Beach (Fla.) athlete Faton Bauta is trying to shed the label of "athlete" and get people used to calling him a quarterback. The dual-threat signal caller certainly impressed on the field during the tournament, showing off a strong arm and hitting some tight windows on some of his throws. The transfer from New York is not assured of the starting job just yet so the extra time with his teammates leading up to the season was crucial to developing some chemistry before the pads come on in August.
Dwyer High, ranked 17th in the country by MaxPreps, is breaking in several new players into the mix and face the added challenge of moving into a new classification this season. Bauta knows the team needs to gel in the offseason if they want to go from good to great during the regular season.
"Georgia and UCF, that's about it," he said. "(Georgia) was huge, I went on a pretty big SEC tour and went there and threw for them. They like be a lot and they offered me, I sat down with coach (Mark) Richt and he's a great guy. All of the coaches were great. They're a great school and have top of the line everything. It was great to go out there and see what they're all about."
"That's why I went on the tour, just to show these guys I can throw the ball," he said. "Hopefully I can show the guys out here that I can throw the ball."
Bauta participated at the Florida State camp on Sunday after wrapping up things in Palm Beach at the Heath Evans tournament. While he doesn't have an offer from the Seminoles at the moment, it's possible they could break into his recruiting with one. Right now however, he's starting to narrow down his list based on a few of his big offers.
"I have a top seven and if you looked at the offers I have, you'd be able to figure it out," Bauta said. "I'm really just keeping my options open right now in case something pops up with a school. I'm just seeing who likes me and who has the best chance of winning and having the most success during the four years I'm there. I want to get the best connection to the coaches and the players."
Cornerback Tracey Howard of Miramar (Fla.) knows he doesn't have much left to prove after a stellar junior year and a very good offseason on the all-star travel team South Florida Express. But there he was out in the heat, running routes on offense and playing receivers tight on defense.
Howard plans on visiting Miami and Florida State soon and has already visited the other in-state power, Florida, for a spring practice. He plans on committing during the middle of the season or on Signing Day, depending on how his visits work out and if he's comfortable with a certain school. In the mean time, he's just doing what's asked of him to help his team win.
"It was good to play some receiver and make plays for my team," Howard said. "I don't really play offense but I'm out here with my team having fun."
- One of the underclassmen who had an intriguing blend of size and speed was Tampa (Fla.) linebacker Paris Bostick of Plant High. The 6-foot-2, 205-pounder looks like a big safety but he could continue to grow into an outside linebacker. Schools are already interested with him playing safety and while he doesn't have any offers yet, is looking to have a big season after concentrating on getting better this offseason.
"Just get faster and bigger," Bostick said. "I'm in the weight room a lot with the team but I like to work harder than everybody else. I see people trying to up their game so I'm going to try and up my game more than them and keep my head on and not get into any trouble."
- Virginia Tech commit Donaldven Manning was sporting his future college's logos on some eye black.
- Booker T. Washington was a team full of underclassmen who impressed. They made it to the championship game against Plant but fell just short. Former Miami director of football operations "Ice" Harris is the head coach at the school now.

TCU's move to the Big East already paying off
Posted by Bryan Fischer
CBSSports.com Senior Writer Brett McMurphy is in Ponte Vedra, Florida this week covering the Big East's spring meetings and got a chance to catch up with the league's newest member, TCU head coach Gary Patterson. While still getting the hang of things looking East instead of West (or in this case, Mountain West, the league the Horned Frogs are leaving after this season), Patterson told McMurphy that things are already going well on the recruiting front.
"I think there will be [excitement moving to the Big East]," Patterson said. "The excitement is the new recruiting class, they're the ones the Big East will have an effect on and maybe the class coming in. We haven't really talked about it. Our whole thing is getting a chance to win one more championship in the league we're in."
In talking with recruits, administrator at TCU and Patterson, the coach's words are very much on the mark. At their current pace, the program should sign their highest rated recruiting class ever next year. Things are looking very bright in Fort Worth and this week's meetings give Patterson and others a glimpse at what life will be like next year.
Be sure to read McMurphy's full story about TCU and the Big East.

Winston, Kiel impress at Ohio State Elite 11
Posted by Bryan Fischer
COLUMBUS, Ohio – The sixth and final stop of the Elite 11 quarterback competition turned out to be one of the best stops of the entire spring camp circuit. Three of the top four quarterbacks in the MaxPreps Top 100 for 2012 showed up and just about everyone met or exceeded expectations.
Hueytown (Ala.) signal caller Jameis Winston had the longest trip out of just about everyone who showed up Friday afternoon but came out throwing and looked sharp throughout the two and a half hour throwing session.
"I think it was a productive day. I did some good things, I could have done better on some things but I don't think I did anything bad," Winston said.
Ranked as the second best quarterback in the class of 2012 by MaxPreps, the 6-foot-4, 195-pounder threw a very nice ball and was exceptional on fade routes where he could show off his arm. Winston was light on his feet during drills, moving well and showing off improved footwork – one area of his game where he felt he could have improved on even more.
"Drops," he zeroed in on. "I'm not that comfortable with the five step drops, the seven step drops. When I'd hitch, I was on my back leg a lot. My arm made up for it but I've got to get better at it.
"What people don't know is that my whole life I was a Wing-T quarterback. I've only had two years in a spread system. I've really only had two years throwing the football."
A true dual-threat quarterback who can beat a team with his arm and his legs, Winston admits he is still a little more comfortable when he's throwing on the run outside of the pocket.
"Well, god gave me the legs to do it," he said with a smile. "I am comfortable running just because I have more space but I'm more comfortable in the pocket as well."
Winston doesn't really have a preference for what type of system he plays in college and certainly has his pick of whichever spread or pro-style system suits him best. With well over 25 scholarship offers with his name on it headed to Hueytown once coaches can send written offers, Winston is only beginning to pare down his recruiting.
"I'm starting to narrow it down, but not quite (all the way down) yet," Winston said. "I plan on committing in July. I've just got to get out more, my parents haven't been out with me a lot."
The trip to Ohio State for the Elite 11 will afford Winston the opportunity to take an unofficial visit to see the Buckeyes. He'll be visiting with the coaching staff and see all the school has to offer on Saturday before returning home.
"I hope Terrelle Pryor is up there so I can meet that big guy," he said, only half-joking. "I just want to meet with the coaches, talk with coach (Jim) Tressel a little bit. This is a dream, being up here. I'm practicing on the same field as people like Eddie George and all those guys."
An unofficial visit to LSU is in the cards for next week and there are several more penciled in on the calendar as Winston looks to keep to his schedule and commit in July.
"I've got to take my parents down to Florida State, I've got to take them down there because that's a place where I could see myself playing at," he said. "LSU, Florida State and Oklahoma too. Oklahoma is my favorite school growing up so I'm going to try and get down there. And Vanderbilt, I like Vanderbilt a lot too. I'm going to try and go out west and visit schools like UCLA and Stanford."
Both in-state schools, Alabama and Auburn, are also heavily pursuing the star QB. Winston says he's open to leaving home however, and is searching for a school that meets his criteria because he isn't worried about staying too close to home.
"First of all, people say academics but I actually am looking at academics," Winston said. "I have a good GPA, I'm at a 4.1 right now. So I'm looking for academics but I'm also looking for players around me that want to win, that's the main thing."
A two-sport star, Winston is one of the top high school baseball players in the country. A five-tool player who stars in the outfield, at shortstop and as a pitcher, several baseball scouts think he could go in the first three rounds of the upcoming MLB draft. While he is leaving the football/baseball decision for another day, wrapping up spring football at his high school last week means it's time for him to shift gears and go grab his glove.
"Baseball is going great," he said. "I start summer ball next week. I'm going to be out there hitting home runs and striking people out."
Winston said Alabama's baseball program is recruiting him the hardest and if he were to redshirt his first year in college football, he'd try and focus on baseball before competing to be the starting quarterback in the spring. While the strength of a school's baseball programs seems to be secondary to that of its football program in terms of Winston's recruitment, it is still a factor.
Based on the way he threw the ball around the Elite 11 however, it would seem that his future belongs on the gridiron first and the diamond second.
Pike not pleased with his performance
Five-star quarterback Zeke Pike came into the Elite 11 excited to prove that he was one of the top quarterbacks in the nation. After nearly three hours of throwing in the humid Columbus air however, the talented player didn't feel like he brought his "A" game to the competition.
"I did alright," Pike said. "I didn't throw the ball as well as I thought I would. I'm kind of sore, I've been working real hard this week because it's the last week of summer ball. No excuses but I did preform the way I wanted to.
"That's part of being a quarterback, you're going to have a good game and you're going to have a bad game and you've got to bounce back."
The Edgewood (Ky.) quarterback struggled at times during the competition, usually with his accuracy. He tended to overstride a little and didn't throw as tight a spiral as he normally does. There might be a little bit of truth to his arm being just a little bit tired as he has had a non-stop schedule since the beginning of the year. On top of leading a 7-on-7 travel team, Pike's high school just wrapped up spring practices right before he made the trip up.
"It's going good, we finished our last thing yesterday," he said. "We're done for the rest of the school year and then we'll start back up June 1st so it's exciting.
"I'm going to 7-on-7 in Dallas later this summer. I'll probably go down to (Auburn's summer camp) and throw. I'll probably go down there a few more times but we'll see."
As Auburn's only commitment in the MaxPreps Top 100 for 2012 – he's 30th overall – Pike is the cornerstone in the Tigers' recruiting class. He plans on doing a bit of recruiting for the school at Saturday's Nike Camp and talked glowingly about his connection with the school and the coaching staff.
"It's a place I kind of fell in love with," he said. "It's where I knew I'd be happy and I'd love going to school there for four or five years. When it all comes down to it, it's about more than just football. It's about where you'll be happy at, where you can be successful at and I felt it there and that's where I felt the most comfortable at too."
While he's a solid verbal commitment to the Tigers, that hasn't stopped several schools from continuing to pursue the him.
"They still send me a lot of mail and emails and messages," Pike said. "I don't really read them anymore. I don't talk to as many coaches anymore but I try to keep the lines open with a couple coaches just in case anything ever happens, you never know. But I'm committed to Auburn and I'm going to be loyal to them."
Kempt an underclassman to keep an eye on
The Elite 11 events are always a good time to see how underclassmen perform against top competition. Massillion (Ohio) quarterback Kyle Kempt was one of several at the event to catch the eye of observers and with good reason as he flashed all the tools he needed to be successful at the next level.
"I felt very good. I felt like I did very well in the drills," Kempt said. "I was pretty accurate and I didn't try and do something I couldn't do. I just did everything I could to make it a catchable ball for the receiver and come out and show what I've got."
The 6-foot-5, 190 pound Kempt throws a very catchable ball in a tight spiral. He seemed a bit neverous at the beginning but grew more comfortable as the event went on and was sharp when throwing routes to wide receivers.
"In reality, you're just competing against everybody," he said. "It's a lot of fun. You have some of the best quarterbacks in the nation here and it's awesome to be able to come out here and compete with them."
Kempt performed at the Elite 11's first stop, in Orlando, but decided to come back and go through the ringer once again. It's all part of his strategy to go to as many camps as possible to both learn from instructors on how to be a better quarterback and also show off what he can do in hopes of picking up more scholarship offers.
"For college camps, we're going down to Alabama, we're going to go to USC, hopefully Stanford, then Oregon State and Washington." He continued, "Then we're going to come back here and go to Ohio State, Michigan State and Michigan. We're going to do Notre Dame and Boston College and any other area camps we can find."
Just a rising junior, Kempt already holds a verbal scholarship offer from Stanford and plenty of other schools are giving him a look.
"There are other schools showing interest," he said. "I'm just going out and trying to prove myself and prove that they need to show a lot of interest in me."
The offer from the Cardinal was a significant one for Kempt, not only because it was a major Division-I offer from a prestigious school, but because of the coach who saw something in him while he was just a sophomore.
"It meant a lot to me," Kempt said. "Stanford is a great academic school. The guy who offered me was Coach (Jim) Harbaugh and (the offer) is still standing. Just to get it from him, from an NFL guy, it really meant a lot."
Kempt is originally from Portland (Ore.) and moved to Ohio almost a year ago. While he now has roots in both the Midwest and the West Coast, where he eventually goes to school doesn't matter as much as some of the other criteria he is looking for in a program.
"A great campus, great academics," he said. "I'm more of a pro-style offense quarterback so that's definitely the type of school I'm looking for. I really want a coaching staff that I can relate to and that I know I can go to for anything."
Kempt's older brother was a backup quarterback at Oregon a few years ago and while he has talked with the Ducks a little, their spread system isn't the best fit for him so it's unlikely he'll head to his brother's alma matter. He is, however, already knee deep in the recruiting process and is able to go through it with ease thanks to the experience the family had with his brother.
"I've made an unofficial to Oregon State, I've made an unofficial to Washington," he said. "I was actually here (at Ohio State) when they played Penn State and that was a great game. It was awesome, great atmosphere and some of the nicest people you'll meet."
Based on his performance on the Ohio State practice fields Friday, don't be surprised to hear Kempt's name come up more and more as he makes his way around the country.
- Another underclassman who caught just about everyone's eye was Warren (Mich.) quarterback Shane Morris. While it probably had something to do with the way he was spinning the ball during the competition, he made sure everybody knew who he was by wearing a bright yellow Michigan shirt and cap. The recent commit to the school has good size and has an accurate arm. He plans on doing a bit of recruiting for the maize-and-blue at Saturday's Nike Camp.
- The country's top-ranked quarterback and number two overall player Gunner Kiel showed up and did not disappoint. He had to leave as soon as the camp was over but he was impressive from the first snap to the last. He's got a cannon for an arm and throws a really tight spiral. Kiel was the best looking quarterback at any of the Elite 11 stops and was extremely accurate in all phases.
He has plus footwork and physically looks ready to play at the next level immediately at 6-foot-4, 215 pounds. He can shave a few ticks off his release but it's pretty good as is. His downfield throws were beauties, turning over the nose of the ball perfectly. Mechanically sound, he kept the ball high and should be a great pickup for whatever school lands him.
- North Canton (Ohio) quarterback Austin Appleby already has a double digit offer list but should see increased interest from BCS-level schools in the near future. He's got great size and a very strong arm. His release is a little long but has the makings of a BCS-level signal caller. His most recent offer was from Miami of Ohio and he's receiving heavy interest from Michigan State, Michigan and others.
"We really covered a lot of Big East schools during the spring," Appleby said. "Louisville, Syracuse, Connecticut they all said I'm very high on their board. In the SEC, Vanderbilt seemed very impressed. A lot of them are real close and they say they it's just going to take a camp date (to get an offer)."
- Monroe (Conn.) quarterback Casey Cochran was sharp in yet another camp and should continue to get more interest as the year goes on. He just picked up an offer from Boston College and plans to go to camps at UConn, Temple and Syracuse among others.
- Buffalo (N.Y.) quarterback Chad Kelly can really move and has the arm to throw it around the field, he was sharp all day and can really spin it.
- A few others who impressed were TCU commit Tyler Matthews, Matt Alviti from Park Ridge (Ill.), Sean Maguire of West Orange (N.J.) and Brian Blackburn from Detroit (Mich.).

Kudos to River City Casino and Hotel for having staff that are amazing, helpful, courteous, and go out of their way to accommodate your needs. Our bellhop, Jerry went above and beyond his call of duty!!
We live in the area and stayed while we were having work done in our home and just as a get away. We had a great time- very relaxing. The rooms are very nice and the staff is very friendly. I do thin, however, that is was a mistake to not put refridgerators in the rooms. Many travelers would like to have a coffee pot too.
Review collected in partnership with this hotel
My daughter and I went to get a tour of the rooms, since we were interested in booking a block of rooms for her wedding. Patria was delightful and excited to take us around to the different rooms. We knew they were nice but had no idea how elegant they were. The patio rooms were beautiful and I booked mine right away. I have traveled quite often with my job taking large groups to stay in beautiful hotels, but this was beyond any luxury suite I have experienced. Sofas, beautifully decorated rooms with gorgeous floors but the bathroom with an island in the middle, the rainfall shower, the giant sit alone bathtub was jaw dropping amazing. My daughter and I were so excited to book the rooms knowing her guests would be treated like royalty. Can't wait for January!
This property is one of the finest I have visited. The staff (from the valet attendants, to the Bell Staff, to the Front Desk Personnel are the friendliest and most helpful I have had the pleasure of dealing with. If you are looking for gaming the casino personnel are just like the hotel staff. Friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this property.
It's really easy to write a critical review, but where do you start with a "simply amazing" hotel experience. We walked in and immediately sank into ultra plush carpet, the decor was outstanding, the people were friendly. Many places put on a 5-Star facade, but these folks did everything first class! The bellman showed us to our room after taking care of our car at the free valet service. The room was spacious, and decorated to the hilt. Even the flat screen tv was framed on the wall. They had the usual place to hang your clothes, but there was an additional armoire for our clothing with a safe for our valuables. There was no refrigerator, but he asked if we would like to have one. The bath was also "simply amazing." Thre was no tub, but we could've had a party in the shower. The lights and tv were built into the oversize mirror. There was a separate water closet room with a privacy door. I only had one complaint, no coffeemaker, but I found out at checkout that I could've requested one-so ask for it if you are a coffee drinker. We found the restaurants reasonably priced, as well as the coffee vendor in the lobby. I could go on and on. It was an absolutely delightful experience.
My husband and I had a night out, which does has not happened in a long time. We stayed at this hotel and our experience was amazing. From the start we were greeted by the valet. When we got to the front desk the man behind the counter, Dave was extremely helpful and friendly. Then our bellman Jerry who not only greeted us at the desk, but walked us to our room and showed us all the wonderful amenities of our room. He also kept us extremely entertained. The room was gorgeous and the bed was so comfortable. All and all I would recommend this hotel to anyone. They clearly have a team spirit that makes you feel welcomed!
Beautiful new hotel and casino. Room was very clean, comfortable, decorated nicely. Jerry, the Bellhop, was not only very professional, but very personable as well. In fact, kudos to the entire staff! Even though the casino allows smoking, we never smelled it and believe me, our nose's are very sensitive to smoke. I highly recommend this hotel and casino!! -Jennifer

2008 USTA Section of the Year: Pacific Northwest
For the USTA Pacific Northwest Section, teamwork is key. Success in everything from tennis programming to improving tennis infrastructure across the section has been built through the cooperation of its members.
"I think what sets the section apart is that the entire staff and volunteers are well-connected to their communities," says Karen Green, USTA national manager of Tennis in the Parks. "They know what is going on in almost every community and are a welcoming organization."
And for all its success, the Pacific Northwest Section is the 2008 RSI USTA Section of the Year. It's the second time the section won this award, having been honored in 2004, too.
The section's current USTA membership of more than 23,000 represents a 100 percent increase from eight years ago. This increase in members has resulted from program participation, particularly in the USTA League and Junior Team Tennis programs.
Today, every area of the section offers a Junior Team Tennis Local League, and participation has grown to 2,000 recently. League Tennis participation increased a record 9 percent since 2007 and now boasts nearly 20,500 players. A focus on team play for juniors through adults, says section CEO and Executive Director Bill Leong, has led to competitive success all the way up to the national level.
To ensure there are plenty of places to play, the section provides grants for local communities to use toward the construction and renovation of courts. It also teams up with technical, fundraising and advocacy experts. "There's a lot involved in it," says Leong.
The backbone of the PNW Section is its squad of staff and volunteers, who worked together to host the Davis Cup final in 2007. "We have a very strong and effective volunteer and staff partnership," says Leong.
- Be sure diversity and inclusion are embedded in the business operating plan.
- Maintain a strong partnership between professional staff and volunteers.
- Engage the community and provide relevant service needs.

While no official decision has been reached yet, it looks like Debian's technical committee may be leaning in favor of using systemd as the default init system over Upstart or other alternatives.
The Debian technical committee hasn't yet decided what will be the default init system for the 8.0 "Jessie" release, but it still is a heated debate as some of the committee members are starting to publicly cast their views.
Coincidentally, Debian GNU/Linux 7.3 was released this weekend -- the same weekend as it being known that SteamOS is Debian-based.
As expected, SteamOS is starting to surface today. Here's the first details!
While Debian GNU/kFreeBSD has used Xfce as its default desktop environment and prior to 7.0 Wheezy they experimented with Xfce by default for Debian GNU/Linux, it's being tried out once again.
Debian developers have been in a very polarized discussion recently about replacing their default SysVinit system with a more modern init system; namely, Debian developers are evaluating whether to use systemd or Upstart.
The Debian Release Team has announced the Debian 8.0 "Jessie" freeze date along with the proposed release goals for this next major update to the Debian Linux distribution that also continues to maintain a FreeBSD kernel option. The Debian 8.0 news came just a short time after releasing Debian 7.2. Debian Jessie will look to expand upon systemd support and LLVM's Clang as a secondary compiler option to GCC.
Debian 7.2 was officially released on Saturday to provide bug-fixes for Wheezy.
For those concerned more about code licenses and the free nature of software over the quality, richness, and features of a Linux distribution, gNewSense 3.0 is now available. The gNewSense 3.0 release now supports three architectures and has switched from an Ubuntu base to now using Debain Linux.
Debian 7.1 has been released as a stable point release to Debian 7.0 Wheezy.
Up this morning are benchmarks comparing the performance of Debian GNU/Linux 7.0 to Debian GNU/kFreeBSD 7.0, the version of the Debian operating system that ships the GNU user-land but replaces the Linux kernel from that of FreeBSD 9.0.
While it wasn't part of the Debian 7.0 Wheezy release earlier this month, the GNU non-Linux folks have now put out Debian GNU/Hurd 2013. This operating system pairs the Debian user-land with the GNU Hurd kernel.
With last weekend's release of Debian 7.0 Wheezy, Debian 8.0 Jessie is now in early stages of development.
As anticipated, Debian 7.0 "Wheezy" has been officially released this weekend.
The long-awaited Debian 7.0 "Wheezy" release is expected to happen the first weekend of May.
Last month I wrote about the work being done by a small Linux distribution that most users likely have never heard of, SprezzOS, trying to rewrite Debian's APT utilities. Reported last month were significant performance gains out of rewriting the APT utilities, but work hasn't let up. There's more progress to share.
One of the more peculiar Linux distributions to emerge recently has been SprezzOS, which debuted with claims of being the most robust, performant, and beautiful Linux. When it launched it didn't generate much attention, but recently the SprezzOS developers began rewriting Debian's APT software.
Debian 7.0 "Wheezy" is now under 100 release-critical bugs. The release of Debian Wheezy is now not too far out.
The 64-bit ARM (AArch64) port image of Debian/Ubuntu has surfaced. Debian-based Linux is now ready to play in a 64-bit ARM world, months ahead of any hardware appearing for the general public. Similar to x86_64, Linux is the first operating system ready for the new architecture.
Version 6.0.7 of Debian "Squeeze" was released on Saturday.
With the recent release of Debian 7.0 Installer Release Candidate, the final release of Debian 7.0 "Wheezy" is effectively on approach. For those not up to speed on this major Linux distribution update, here's a list of some of the top features.
The first release candidate of Debian 7.0 "Wheezy" has been released as the official release of the "Squeeze" successor approaches in the coming months.
Debian developers are still working on making the operating system compiler agnostic so that its packages can be built with LLVM/Clang and other compilers rather than continuing in a monogamist relationship with GCC.
The port of Debian GNU/Linux for the Motorola 68000 processors has been revived, which now allows for a working Debian OS to run once again on computers like the Amiga 3000/4000 and Atari.
Debian packages for using the Linux x32 ABI have begun to surface and it's possible to chroot into a Debian x32 environment, but it's not yet part of the official Debian archive.
Steve Langasek of Canonical has pushed their latest Upstart init daemon into Debian unstable. Debian GNU/Linux can now handle either SysVinit, systemd, and Upstart to handle a head-to-head system booting battle.
Debian will no longer be defaulting to the Xfce desktop but they have returned to using the GNOME desktop as the default.
In a commit made for Debian's forthcoming 7.0 Wheezy release, Xfce is now the default desktop choice.
Debian 7.0 "Wheezy" will be succeeded by Debian 8.0, which is going to be developed under the codename of "Jessie" as revealed in a mailing list message.
Besides Android as the dominant Linux-based mobile platform, Ubuntu, Tizen, Maemo/MeeGo, webOS, Firefox OS, and various other Linux platforms have aspired to compete in the mobile space. In addition, Debian wants to remain relevant in the mobile space.

Sources close to the Baylor Administration confirmed to me today that Bears Coach Art Briles will be hired as Texas Tech's next football coach
(Briles attended Tech and was assistant under Leach)
Contrary to previous reports, there is indeed a 10-day waiting period that Tech officials must observe before hiring Briles, but one of my sources told me the move is a "done deal."
The 54-year-old Briles is an alumnus of Texas Tech, was a successful high school coach in Texas, the head coach at the University of Houston, and served as an assistant coach for the Red Raiders under Mike Leach from 2000-02.
I had previously predicted that Tommy Tuberville would be hired as the next Texas Tech coach, but I confirmed today that Briles will instead get the job.
Contrary to rumors floating around about Leach being a candidate for a Raiders coaching position, I was told yesterday by a source that the coach had not been in contrat with the Oakland organization.
Also, yesterday I reported that NBC's Jay Leno Show was trying to book Leach as a guest. I learned last night that Leach has since turned the show down.
Leach was last seen in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
*UPDATE* (6:29p ET): I've been told that Texas Tech indeed raised the funds to pay Briles' $4M contract buyout.

Browser Choice Screen: Update Starts in March
Between the middle of March and the end of May 2010, Microsoft will be providing a browser choice update to users of XP onwards. The update will allow alternative browser installation.
According to a Microsoft press release, Windows users from XP and upwards with Internet Explorer installed as default browser will receive a software update via a browser choice screen. This will enable them to easily define and install an alternative web browser as standard. According to the press release the move will begin with a short test period and should be completed by middle May. The update is said to deactivate but not uninstall Internet Explorer. In Windows 7, IE will automatically be removed from the taskbar but can be recalled as a quick-start button via the program menu.
In his blog posting, Microsoft's Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, Dave Heiner, explains the browser choice screen in detail. Tests by Windows manufacturers will take place in France, Belgium and the United Kingdom before being rolled out in Germany and other European countries the middle of March. Software for the screen will reach computers in the form of an automatic update. For Windows users whose settings ask them to first confirm the download, the update is optional. The browser installation software starts with the first log in to IE after the update, then according to users wishes: after the preview screenshots (see gallery) a relevant link will appear on the Windows desktop.
The update is a result of a
resolution between Microsoft and the European Union, arrived at in December 2009. The simplified installation of alternative browsers is valid only in Europe. A dozen browsers are available including Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome. The software presents the browsers in random order, which according to Dave Heiner, is part of the EU agreement.

Getting the touch on the Medion X9613 all-in-one
Medion has taken what the company has described as a "departure" from their regular line of budget PCs, with the launch of the The Touch X9613 set to hit the shelves in November.
The 24-inch, all-in-one, multi-touchscreen device takes advantage of the level of control built into Windows 7. It's designed as a wall mounted unit to be used as an always connected secondary screen in the family home.
Packed with features from twin DVB-T/DVB-S tuners, a full Dolby Surround sound bar and HDMI-in and outputs to the 4GB of RAM, Quad core processor and mighty 1TB of storage, this £2000 computer is not going to find its way into everyone's homes. Medion told Pocket-lint:
"We know it's a top end item and we expect that the majority of the sales will be for custom installs and possibly commercial use as well. We will still do value computers but we felt it was important for us to do something for the launch of Windows 7. It's a technological statement".
Some of the functions of this luxury PC can be voice controlled but it also comes with a wireless mouse, keyboard and RF remote if you don't want to get touchy with it or if you're feeling a little croaky.
Although, an elitist machine, it doesn't mean that this is the closest most of us will get to these levels of features and design. Medion will be releasing many more touchscreen devices from next year, from the very small all the way through the range. So, the question is, just how budget can touch get?

Travel Blogs from Mérida
Hot or not!
... shops and services is tough.
Mark was getting frustrated and if was already very warm, so I jumped out and went into a hotel to ask about a tourist office. We weren't far away, but it was just the one-way and pedestrian streets that had us puzzled.
The tourist office people were really helpful , and so we were on our way. The best starting point was only a short walk to the Roman theatre where we could buy a value ticket for all six sites - which we did.
Going back in time
Spain and portugal have had a range of occupying forces as you may have already known. We have started seeing more of the roman ruins. As with many things they were altered over time. Most of the Roman stuff was either filled in and built over the top of, pulled apart for stones for new designs or kept and adjusted. It seems like many ruins are discovered when excavations occur for car parks etc. Makes you think any builders might try and ignore them if found! there is a real ...
Mérida - Augustus Rome
The Roman Theatre of Mérida is a construction promoted by the consul Vipsanius Agrippa in the Roman city of Emerita Augusta, capital of Lusitania. It was constructed in the years 16 to 15 BCE. The Amphitheatre of Mérida is a ruined Roman amphitheater situated in the Roman colony of Emerita Augusta, present-day Mérida, in Spain.
Blissful 15.5km
... birds who like to hit the road early. Thankfully we had purchased stuff to eat early in case so at 7:30 we hit the road.
Ninja gear required to start the day - was cold and the wind was coming off the North Pole! Short bitumen stretch then 8km to the next village on easy soft dirt road. Soft, because of the rain! I'll take that! Beautiful cool walk with the sound of whoot whoots and cuckoos and sights of Hawks circling and storks in the sky. Lots of white and yellow broom ...
Oh what a beautiful day!
... tonight is a working monastery. We knew it was an old nunnery but didn't know it was now a monastery. Got there 2 1/2 hours before they would allow us in (freaking out of bed early people) but let us put our packs down there and head for the nearest bar. Says they have wifi but it's a load of crock. Never mind, we have limited data so use that for the basics. Then off to check in for 1pm and find all the others from last night there. The hostelaria motions us ...

Duraflex Dodge Magnum Body Kits
Featured Body Kits Products
Duraflex Dodge Magnum body kits are custom exterior parts that can be installed to upgrade and rejuvenate a outward appearance. After years of usage, the exterior paneling on many automobiles begins to look old and ugly. Any damage to a car's paint job or to the exterior parts themselves can depreciate a vehicle's value, making the use of body kits is just that much more important. A bodykit can change a car appear better, without ever replacing any of the true mechanics of the vehicle.
Most stylish Duraflex Dodge Magnum bodykits upgrades include replacements for a couple of parts, front & back bumpers and side skirts. These are the areas of a vehicle that are often damaged from daily driving, but these alone aren't the only parts that can be easily replaced. Other aftermarket body paneling can be used to upgrade a vehicle's look, so Duraflex Dodge Magnum bodykits can sometimes be special ordered to a car owner's specific desires. For an upgraded appearance that eliminates the poor looks created from years of usage, a high quality bodykits can serve you well.
